Civil Engineering & Structural Calculations

Licensed Professional Civil Engineer serving the Greater Sacramento Area. 34+ years across land development, gate and fence engineering, and stamped structural calculations for deferred submittals.

About Anthony Sutter, P.E.

I've practiced civil engineering in California for more than 34 years, and my stamp has gone on everything from full subdivision improvement plans to single-detail steel calculations. That range is the point: whether you're a fabricator who needs stamped calcs for a stair package or a developer taking raw land through entitlement, you work directly with the engineer of record — not a project manager relaying questions to one.

The core of my practice is general land development: site design, grading and drainage, water and sewer, entitlements, and permitting for residential, retail, commercial, and industrial projects across the region — including more than 80 automatic gate and fence engineering projects. I also provide stamped structural calculations for deferred submittals: guardrails, stairs, ladders, gates, and the framing and connections that hold them up, calculated detail by detail against the current California Building Code so plan checkers get complete coverage the first time.

I keep the practice deliberately small. You get direct answers, fast turnaround, and documents that hold up in plan check.
